It wouldn't be wrong to say Michael has the world dancing at the box office.
Jaafar Jackson stars in the leading role, playing his late uncle in the powerful Lionsgate biopic, to a record-shattering opening weekend.
The domestic haul and overseas performance together signal where the studio stands heading into the summer movie season.
Michael's box office nearly hit the $100 million mark on opening weekend. Michael debuted across 82 different international territories, as per local media outlets. And while many critics slammed it as horrible, that's not what the audience thought.
Fans from all around the globe enjoyed the thrilling biopic to the fullest and felt that it was harsh and wrong to do the movie wrong by giving it such poor reviews.
The biopic about Michael Jackson claimed the record for the biggest opening weekend ever for a musical biopic, beating 2015's Straight Outta Compton.
Antoine Fuqua directed this movie, which stars Jaafar Jackson as his uncle Michael Jackson, along with Colman Domingo and Nia Long as Joe and Katherine Jackson. Notably, the biopic carries a hefty price tag near the $200 million mark, making it also one of the most costly biopics to date.
